Say, William, what time have you?
I have let my watch run down and
want to set it. Well, John. l have no
time; / took my watch to man in

it with him. 1 went after it. he said
lie had fixed 1t, and so he did; been
there three times since. 1t don't run
any now; he has ruined it. No more
cheap work for me by incompetent
workmcn, they only botch it SO that
it costs more to have it done right
Who Repairs your Watch? I want

Indians congregated in great numbers to
hunt, fish and raise corn every summer, and
rude structure was erected. It was called
"A la Pointe du Saint Esprit" the Mission of
the Holy Ghost. Here this young priest la
bored for several years, returning once or
twice to Quebec and inducing several other
priests to join him in his work In 1869
Father Marquette arrived at La Pointe, and
soon afterward learned from the Indians Of
the existence Of the Mississippi river, the
"Father of Waters" which discovery made
Marquette a conspicuous figure in American
history.
This old mission, founded by Father
Allouez in 1865, is still in existence, and is
styled the Mother Church of the Northwest"
1t stands back a few rods from the clustering
houses Of the village and is visited by hun
dreds Of people every year, who journey from
all parts of the country to view the venerated
structure. There is rude board fence
around the church and cemetery in the
rear. In 1885 large chapel was erected
in front Of the old log mission, and the
two were boarded over as one. This was done
to preserve the original edifice, which was
showing signs of decay. It is entered from
the chapel and is small room about twenty
feet square, made of roughly hewn logs. 1t
is now used as a vestry or store room for the
property and relics Of the church. At one
end there is a small rule altar, which served
ior purposes of worship for a period Of 200

the place. He is a large man with flowing
white whiskers and hair, and as he walks
about he devoutly recites his prayers or reads
from his Bible. Some months ago Charles
Graham, tie well known staff artist of Har-
pers Weekly, visited the old mission and
made number of sketches of it. He tried to
get picture Of Father John, but the modest
old man had none and refused to allow the
artist to make one. Mr.. Graham watched
his opportunity from a hiding place behind a
tree and made the accompanying sketch as
he passed from his house to the chapel.
~
There is charm of antiquity about the en-
tire village. The houses are ancient looking
and more or less suggestive of a pygone age.
There is q halo of romance and tradition over
the place. Near the shore, standing in shallow
water, is a very old looking building. Years
and years ago it was erected and used by
John Jacob Aston as a warehouse when he
was engaged in the fur trade in this region.
The early settlers of La Pointe were all
French and the inhabitants and their direct
descendants The French language is still
spoken and many Of the dwellers are straight
haired, dark skinned half breeds. with patos
that is altogether charming. The women are
generally quite good looking, with their rich,
healthy color, flashing black hair and eyes
and voices soft and pleasant.
Soon after the war a syndicate purchased
all Of the land about La Poine from the
government. The syndicate was composed
of Senator Breckenridge of Kentucky, Gen.
Bob Toombs of Georgia, the late Vice Presi-
dent Hendricks and several eastern men.
They expected a great city to spring up here
and purchased thousands Of acres merely as q
speculation. A few years ago a story was
started at Washington that the land had been
given to the parties as some kind of bride,
and it created big sensation for time
The story was entirely without foundation.
Until a few years ago this place could only
be reached after long and monotonous lake
voyage. Now no less than four railroads en-
ter Ashland and it has prospects of being
stoppage place of one of the contemplated
transportation lines reaching from ocean to
ocean. Ashland itself is a beautiful summer
resort, on the banks of Chequamegon bay, an
inlet of Lake Superior. 1t has recently be-
come the lake shipping point of the Gogebic
iron region, and is now celebrated as having
two Of the largest ore docks in the world.

Especial Correspondence
ASHLAND, Wis, June 49,
Across the beautiful bay from this place
there is q historical spot called Madeline
Island, washed on all sides by the cool, clear
waters of Lake Superior. The settlement ON
this island Is called La Pointe, and it is by all
odds the Oldest and most interesting In the
west or north. The country along the shores
of Lake Superior was inhabited by prehis-
toric partially civilized race, who worked its
rich copper mines centuries before America
was discovered. Who they were or whence
they came will probably never be known.
This race was followed by the Indians. and
when the first white men visited this region
$50 years ago they found a population of low,
degraded. dissclute beings, who were scarcely
grade above the wild beasts that roamed the
trackless forests. There were nearly 100 Indian
tribes who lived ON or visited the shores of
the great lake, treacherous, vicious set
worshipers Of the moon, the water, the woods
or anything else mysterious or intangible.
They practiced polygamy, were noted for
their great debauches and protracted religious
feasts that ended in revolving orgies

years. Near by is the old sanctuary lamp,
made Of wood, dark, rude and begrimed,
and the bishops candlestick, which is of an
equally primitive pattern. The old registers
of marriage and baptism are sacredly pre-
served. There is nothing else except a few
plain benches in the old church. The other
things which were used so long by
the Jesuit missionaries have been removed
to the chapel, which is a large but ex-
tremely old fashioned room, with gaudily
papered walls and highly colored odds and
ends here and there. The altar is brilliantly
arrayed III highly colored wax flowers, tissue
papers and cloths embroidered in glistening,
oolored beads. The mission was abandoned
by the Jesrits years ago and is now in charge
of the Franciscan Fathers. 1t is hard to re-
alize that this building has been standing for
over two centuries, and was the headquarters
of Father Marquette an equally famous mis-
